After the arrest of John
This phrase sets the historical context for the beginning of Jesus' public ministry. The arrest of John the Baptist, a pivotal figure in preparing the way for Jesus, marks a significant transition. John's arrest by Herod Antipas, as detailed in other Gospel accounts, signifies the opposition that the message of repentance and the coming kingdom would face. The Greek word for "arrest" (παραδίδωμι, paradidomi) can also mean "handed over," indicating a betrayal or a divine plan unfolding. This event underscores the cost of prophetic ministry and foreshadows the eventual suffering of Jesus.

Jesus went into Galilee
Galilee, a region in northern Israel, was a fertile and populous area with a mix of Jewish and Gentile populations. Jesus' choice to begin His ministry here is significant. It fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah 9:1-2, which speaks of a great light shining in Galilee. The Greek verb "went" (ἦλθεν, ēlthen) implies intentionality and purpose. Jesus' movement into Galilee symbolizes the light of the gospel breaking into a world of darkness, offering hope and salvation to all people, not just the Jewish nation.

and proclaimed
The Greek word for "proclaimed" (κηρύσσω, kērussō) means to herald or announce publicly. This term is often used in the context of a royal proclamation. Jesus' proclamation is authoritative and urgent, calling for a response. It emphasizes the active and vocal nature of His ministry. Jesus is not merely teaching; He is declaring a divine message that demands attention and action.

the gospel of God
The term "gospel" (εὐαγγέλιον, euangelion) means "good news." In the Roman world, it was used to announce significant events, such as the birth of an emperor. Here, it refers to the good news of God's kingdom breaking into human history through Jesus Christ. The phrase "of God" indicates the divine origin and authority of this message. It is not a human invention but a revelation from God Himself. This gospel encompasses the themes of repentance, redemption, and the inauguration of God's reign on earth through Jesus. It is a message of hope, calling individuals to turn from sin and embrace the new life offered in Christ.

(14) Now after that John was put in prison.--St. Mark agrees with St. Matthew in omitting all our Lord's early ministry in Galilee and Jerusalem, and takes the imprisonment of the Baptist as his starting-point. That imprisonment is assumed here to be known; but the facts connected with it are not related till Mark 6:17-20.

Verse 14. - Now after that John was put in prison (μετὰ τὸ παραδοθῆναι); literally, was delivered up. This was our Lord's second coming into Galilee. Galilee had been specially designated as the scene of the Divine manifestation (see Isaiah 9:1, 2). The land of Galilee, or of Zebulun and Naphtali, had the misfortune to be the first in the sad calamity which fell upon the Jewish nation through the Assyrian invasion; and, in order to console them under this grievious affliction, Isaiah assures them that, by way of recompense, they, above the rest of their brethren, should have the chief share in the presence and ministry of the future promised Messiah. It seems probable that our Lord remained some time in Judaea after his baptism. From thence he went, with Andrew and Peter, two of John's disciples, into Galilee, where he called Philip. And then it was that he turned the water into wine at the marriage feast in Cana. This was his first coming out of Judaea into Galilee, related by St. John (John 1:43, etc.). But the Passover brought him back into Judaea, that he might present himself in the temple; and then occurred his first purging of the temple (John 2:14). Then came the visit of Nicedemus to him by night; and then he began openly to preach and to baptize (John 3:26), and thus incurred the envy of the scribes and Pharisees. Therefore he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee; and this is the departure here recorded by St. Mark and by St. Matthew (Matthew 4:12). Hence it came to pass that it was in Galilee that Christ called to himself four fishermen - Andrew and Peter, James and John.
